false

first off i'd like to say i feel pretty pathetic for even discussing this, but in the spirit of how i'm always enthralled with human communication, stories, and situations, i feel it somewhat warrants my attention. i would love to be high and mighty, but i'm going to tell this story repeatedly and quite a few people already have seen me speak cryptically about it, without them knowing what's involved.

well, i'm pretty sure they know, but aren't willing to make the inference, but whatever. i'm only giving myself about 10 minutes to write this because there shouldn't be more time devoted to it.


everyone who talks to me in chat knows that i like to crack jokes on people, and there are a lot of people who can't get used to that. one person in particular was peachekeen. now, when i first saw her, i thought she was cute and so went on with the natural male thought process of "is she cute? yes. flirt." i did until i got pretty bored and moved on with my life. then i kind of realize that she's got some attention issues, because there's an onslaught of why-aren't-you-talking-to-me-anymores.

i went back to being my usual crack jokes on people, reversal humor, etc. nothing i say is overly nasty, i think. some people think i am, but most people who have a decent head about themselves consider the source, and don't.

then i get this, and as any "troo chatter" i capped it because it took me aback.



i DO have a problem with that. that's a personal issue to me, and it takes a lot to discuss that to some random person, and particularly someone who can't handle a few jokes throwing around that you're suicidal. again, that trait of attention issues i mentioned before (but then again, i probably have attention issues as well, which is why i crack jokes all the time). but, you don't throw around i'm-cutting-myself and i'm-gonna-kill-myself so easily unless you're just whoring for attention. it's pretty disgusting that people do that.



other than, i don't think much of it. i don't treat her differently than anyone else. i make the same jokes about everyone.

so anyway, this week, i'm back to the usual, and the attention whoring happens again. this time, i really say something about it. being that she can't really take any kind of criticism about it, she treats it as though "lashing out" at her. really though, i know i have some kind of a way with words and i can come across as pretty abrasive (purposefully). the reply is that she's going to tell her "boyfriend" gregg, and he's going to talk to me.

really. now.

kind of a waaah-falsey's-being-mean-i'm-gonna-go-tell-my-boyfriend-i'm-dating-on-the-internet.

cue the yuriel sigh.

so i get a message this week from him, and i never had anything really nasty against him. other people got different things to say, but i've met him before and i had a reasonable amount of fun with him. of course, her version of my character is pretty overexaggerated. a lot of people know that i'm not someone that can be demonized, so i'm not surprised that he thinks i'm going nuts. i give him pretty much a breakdown of what i've said above. i flirted with her once, she got some strange issues, i don't like waving the i'm gonna kill myself flag. we're not 15 in high school here, right?

i get another "i'm asking you nicely to squash it," and for that i really don't care, because none of this affects me that much. i don't place any weight on it, and i'm not going to treat anyone differently. in fact, some people would say it's a compliment if i say anything at all. of course, i brush it off with a sarcastic "cool story, bro"

now, how pathetic i am that i invested time in all of this should be hitting you around this moment.



well, clearly dude was pretty drunk, and this isn't the first time this has been brought up when he was. usually it was at some kind of a particularly odd timing.

before anyone tries to bring up this story, i was invited to visit them two years ago when they were moving from wisconsin. i was invited by toozy, i thought the story was different. i thought there was going to be some ass involved, i didn't get any. i think i was drunk and i said something about it, i don't remember it, but apparently i did. her and i moved on from that a long time ago, and we kind of make jokes about it because she did pretty much ignore me for a good portion of my visit, even though she invited me. it's really more humorous in the idea that i went, i struck out, i got butt hurt about it. i think she's awesome, i was immature, and fuck dude, it was two years ago. i think that's funny really.

so, i suppose to nip it in the bud, i decided to post the entire story for people who follow what i'd been saying. it's either i post a blog about it, or i have to explain this story repeatedly because there are only so many people who were in on the full version. yeah, i do feel kind of pathetic even writing about a chat room squabble, but, i enjoy human communication, and i'm willing to find humor in it.
